- Antonia Quirke – Madame Depardieu and the Beautiful Strangers A diverting memoir of a film critic, written with great self-deprication about her obsession with actors juxtaposed with her ever imploding love life.
- Daniel Ellsberg: Secrets, A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers Described by Henry Kissinger as ‘the most dangerous man in the world’, Ellsberg’s absorbing memoirs reveals how he exposed the lies that the White House had been spinning to the public and set in motion the downfall of President Nixon.
- David Mitchell – Cloud Atlas Extraordinary storytelling of 6 narratives ranging from 19th century to a dystopian future – all interlinked and inventively structured. A great book on humanity and the abuse of power.
- Jane Bussmann – The Worst Date Ever A jaded celebrity journalist from Hollywood ends up stranded in Uganda – and uncovers a government complicit in child kidnapping. A farcical look at humanitarian aid
- Rupert Everett – Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins Everett’s autobiography is wildly witty and candid (so much so that it ruffled a lot of feathers in Hollywood upon publication). Get lost in his hedonistic world. Best autobiography since David Niven’s ‘The Moon’s a Balloon.’
- Ryszard Kapuscinski – The Soccer War A fascinating recollection by Polish reporter Kapuscinski of his eyewitness accounts of revolutions in South America and the struggles of newly independent nations in Africa emerging from colonial rule

A brilliant semi-documentary film following the underworld of rock groups in Iran. A very humorous film, with incredible real musicians desperate to escape the censorship of their country and perform the music they love without fear of arrest. The youth of Bahrain are truly charismatic, rebellious and hint at a pro-democratic Iran for the future.
